Lubbock folks

I was driving down Vicksburg in front of LakeRidge CC at 1:10pm today. A young Mule deer doe trotted in front of me head West and #2 green. I just sat there and watched her. No clue why I didnt think to get a picture. I called the Game Warden and she told me to call Lubbock Animal Control. The phone rang 100 times and I hung up. I called Lubbock police and dispatch said she was on it. If that young deer gets on 82nd St or Slide, it will not end well.

Crazy stuff. Hub

Wow. That's crazy.

I know this kind of thing is common in other areas of Texas. Not so much in Lubbock.

[TexasBear]

Wow! I lived there for years and never even saw a deer within 50 miles of Lubbock. I left there in 1998.

Read a story one time about a whitetail running around tech terrace but I think some jack wagons trapped it and brought it back to the lbk.

I don't know what I'd do if I saw a deer while golfing in Lubbock.

I had friends who live off 26th and Boston and we were sitting on there roof drinking when that deer came running down the street and eventually a LPD had to put it down.

I'm not sure what part of that story is more unbelievable... A roof in west Texas is on average 135degrees.... Or that LPD could hit a deer.

I've seen mulies on the way in on 114 from levelland at Reese.

Lots of places around Lubbock have mule deer and mule deer are entirely nomadic.

I believe it

What kind ^^^ ???

Crazy. Deer are common in lots of other cities. Not Lubbock though.

Well file that under "Things you don't see everyday" I know we have turkey and other wildlife inside the city. There used to be an axis deer that lived in Mahon Park off of 34th & Chicago. I see Mule Deer occasionally on the east side of town, but they tend to stay close to the yellowhouse canyon lakes system.

In the past 2 weeks I have seen a mule deer doe and then fawn smacked on 62/82 between lubbock & idalou (kitalou for those familiar)

I hope that deer finds its way back to a safe spot.

I've seen pigs on 179, but never a deer. That's crazy.

There are a lot more than most ppl know of.. I have grown up there and over the years nearly hit numerous deer around Reece center area.. The most I have ever seen was 8 mulies near 4th and Milwaukee.. They are sneaky critters

It was a whitetail, small buck, if I remember correctly it was some college students and they had caught it in a pig trap and had brought it back in.

From what I understand that pig was trapped, transported & released as a joke.
